LAte challenge unpunished by Calafiori.

 

[paulsimpson]

This game is screaming out for a fully fit Rodri who can stay on the pitch for 90 minutes.

He's actually had a good game, clearing up But he is tiring .

 

[OntarioBlue]

we should have no problem playing a 5 4 1.weve been playing against it for years

 

[kupest]

But winning...

And had the best chance of the game at 1-0

 

[Erling9]

what do these cunts have to do to get a card

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Time is standing still.

 

[super_city_si]

Someone need to come off? Rodri?

 

[bluemoon32]

Come onnnnnnnnnnn City

 

[dannyboiblue]

Haalands fucked

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

dearie me...Doku getting nothing

 

[dublin-blue]

We're gonna have to learn to win like this. Donnarumma in nets makes these sieges a bit less nervy. He's the perfect antidote to their corner tactic

 

[homerdog]

Another foul not given by this dodgy ****!

 

[Ajm1985]

Well I did ask for pep to do something. Wasn't expecting a back 5. Interesting, I can see how that can work, foden isnt offering anything in attack, its purely doku and haaland on any break we might get so locking up the back makes sense. Doing it for the first time away at Arsenal with half hour left probably isn't ideal though.

I've been asking for a wingback system for months, and I am also surprised he did it mid-game with this personnel. Particularly keeping Bernardo on

 

[ScottSinclair]

Gvardiol has been really bad in possession

 

[waspish]

We know if it’s stays like this they’ll be 10mins added..

 

[I'm Blue]

Ref - ****.

I can’t think of a better occasion to go to a back 5.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

That's s shocking tackle

 

[Blueknows]

How’s that not a card?

Or a free kick on doku again
